The Free Fly event gives everyone access to three unique parts of the Star Citizen experience:

Star Citizen Alpha 2.2.2 – Also known as Crusader or the “mini-PU,” this is the nucleus of the world we're building! Featuring multiple space stations and environments, scripted missions, places to explore and more, Alpha 2.2.2 is your first look at a much larger universe!

Arena Commander – Arena Commander is a 'game within a game' that we've used to develop our flight mechanics and ship combat balance. Take on human opponents or an AI swarm in single seat fighter.

Social Module – Interact with other players while you explore our first landing zone, ArcCorp! The Social Module is intended as a starting point for our world building,

You can register for an account here to get started. If you already have an account from a previous Free Fly, you're all set! Just log in via the Star Citizen launcher. This is the first Free Fly that includes Crusader, so there's more to explore than ever before. For the next week. Free Fly accounts will have access every ship currently available in the game.

Star Citizen Alpha 2.2.2 Patch Released

Xi'An Scout

We’ve issued another minor patch for Star Citizen Alpha 2.2 this week, focusing on a set of specific bug fixes identified during testing. Thank you as always to our talented backers who have helped us drill down on and now eliminate these bugs! You can find a complete list of changes here.

Xi'An Scout and Aegis Sabre Sale Ending

Xi'An Scout

Have you picked up your now-flight-ready Sabre or the hangar-ready Khartu-al Scout this week? Both ships are available for sale again through Monday, March 14.

Xi'An Scout

Remember: we are offering these pledge ships to help fund Star Citizen's development. The goal is to make additional ships available that give players a different experience rather than a particular advantage when the persistent universe launches. Ship types sold during limited sales will be available to earn in the finished game.

March Subscriber Flair!

Pflanze für Abonnenten

This month's Subscriber Flair is the Tuserac Plena, aka the Terran Emperor Blossom! This decorative space plant is the first in an all-new collection that will share some of the amazing plant life found around Star Citizen’s universe! Be sure and take good care of your space plant… give it plenty of light and do not remove it from it’s artificial environment enclosure. Here’s the 4-1-1 on your botanical treat:

Name of plant: Tuserac Plena aka Emperor Blossom

Origin: Terra, Terra

Average Lifespan: Estimated: 50-100 SEY

Description: A member of the Tuserac family of flowers, the Emperor Blossom is one of the most recognizable indigenous plants from Terra. For most of the year, the flower is obscured, covered by what appears to be an unremarkable brown husk, similar to the Typha/Cattail of Earth. When an ideal temperature is reached, the plant enters its blooming phase: the petals peel back, revealing the striking colors underneath. Tens of thousands cross the Zaffre Bay every year for the Twilight Festival which coincides with the blooming of this beautiful flower.

Pflanze für 49 Mio. Stretch Goal

Don’t want your Emperor Blossom to be lonely? We’ve also distributed the Xi’An Space Plant stretch goal to all who backed Star Citizen before $49 million. Check it out!

If you're an active subscriber, the flair will be attributed to your account today. If you subscribe over the weekend, the first space plant will be attributed to your account on Tuesday March 15th! More information about subscriptions can be found here.
